USPS Passport Fairs in the Conway Area in October

Special Hours for Customer Convenience, Appointments Not Required

CONWAY, AR – To ensure U.S. citizens are prepared to travel, the U.S. Postal Service will be hosting multiple passport fairs at locations across the Arkansas District. Appointments are not required, so customers are encouraged to show up early, as applicants will be served on a first-come, first-served basis until the applicant maximum capacity has been reached.

Due to the unusually large volume of passport customers at all locations, a cut-off time is sometimes necessary when wait times exceed hours of operation. We recommend arriving as early as possible to avoid delays.
